High-Performance Application 
Delivery for Physical and  
Virtualized Environments  
Data center virtualization and consolidation
are driving more change than the IT industry
has seen in years. Although organizations
are well on their way to virtualizing the
data center foundation of servers and
applications, virtualizing the networking
infrastructure will require a new class of
networking solutions that can respond to
the dynamic demands of a virtual data
center. Service providers and enterprises
now need record levels of performance and
scalability to meet growing requirements for
elasticity, shared services, and seamless
availability and security.
In these new cloud-based and virtualized
environments—as well as in traditional
IT environments—the need for next-
generation application delivery controllers
is clear. Organizations must have the ability
to enable global deployment of Web 2.0
